A pup is infected with Giardia after ingesting it. Not all puppies have it, but it is a common organism worldwide, especially prevalent where sanitation is sub par. Additionally, it can live in a pup or adult dog without causing outward signs of disease or it can cause symptoms such as diarrhea and lethargy.
